The St. Louis Cardinals are one of baseball's most storied franchises,
and as much a part of St. Louis as Anheuser-Busch and the arch. From Lou
Brock to Matt Carpenter, Ozzie Smith to Yadier Molina, Bob Gibson to
Adam Wainwright, from Hall of Famers to rookie busts, the Cardinals are
beloved in St. Louis.
In this book, Stan McNeal provides a closer look at the great moments
and the lowlights that have made the Cardinals one of the baseball's
keystone teams. Through the words of the players, via multiple
interviews conducted with current and past Cardinals, readers will meet
the players, coaches, and management and share in their moments of
greatness and defeat.
This book shares stories behind such Cardinal memories as the
little-known clubhouse antics of backup catcher Bob Uecker during the
teams' memorable run in the 1960s, the excitement at Busch Stadium in
the 1980s as the Cardinals reached the World Series three times, and the
elation of the 2006 and 2011 World Series championships.
